Incontri Primaverili… Springtime Gatherings…

Food, friends and family… lots of that around here lately.  Dining al fresco is always the choice,  even with this unseasonably cool spring weather.  A chilly Memorial Day came and went,  and summer is almost here… hard to believe … not quite ready for that.

Benvenuto Oliver… Welcome Oliver…

It seems that the best way to heal the broken heart after losing a precious pet is to get another one right away.  Jim wanted a new puppy,  Priscilla loved the idea,  and I wanted to wait a bit.  Jim won,  and now we have this precious little "Ollie" to make us happy,  and fill the hole that was left when we lost our sweet Coco.  We have a special little spot for her in the garden,  which she loved …we will never forget Coco,  but this adorable " Shaded English Cream Doxie" helps ease the pain…

Dolci … Sweets…
